The KAAN’S FLEET leaving the Port of ZAYTON.
The scenery is taken from an engraving in Fisher’s
China, purporting to represent the mouth of the
Chinchew River (or River of Tswan-chau), after a sketch
by Capt. (now Adm.) Stoddart. But the Rev. Dr.
Douglas, having pointed out that this cut really supported
his view of the identity of Zayton, being a
view of the Chang-chau River, reference was
made to Admiral Stoddart, and Dr. Douglas proves to
be quite right. The View was really one of the
Chang-chau River; but the Editor has not been able
to procure material for one of the Tswan-chau River,
and so he leaves it.
